Westland Lysander Mk.III SD G-AZWT - 'Full Size Focus' Photo CD

The Lysander was built to a specification calling for a rugged, short-take-off-and-landing (STOL) aircraft for low-level reconnaissance and observation. The role that the Lysander is best remembered for is as a 'spy taxi', picking up and dropping secret agents behind enemy lines. For these operations, the aircraft were painted black and fitted with a long-range fuel tank beneath the fuselage and a ladder fixed to the side of the aircraft to allow the agents to enter and exit quickly. Each CD features a multi selection of high-quality close-up detailed photographs to help you with your latest building project.
